I'm sure this is a dumb question but I've been finding inconsistent answers.
I know the Herpstat 1 has 1 temperature probe, and one power outlet, but I've seen people using them on their racks to control multiple cages.
If I was to purchase a Herpstat 1 and had a rack that was (lets just say for the sake of an example) 6 tubs tall, could I use that Herpstat 1 to control the temperature for all of those tubs as long as I did not exceed the max wattage? Or would I need to Herpstat 6 to control all 6 even if they are all intended to be the same temperature. I'm assuming I'd need the 6, because with only 1 temp probe I would only be accurately controlling the temperature of 1 tub, with the other 5 being 'close but no cigar.'
If I am understanding the use of these systems wrong please help me, I intend to have a better rack by the end of this year, and want a thermostat that I can control my temperatures with accurately. If anyone has other systems please don't hesitate to recommend them. If I indeed would need the Herpstat 6 for 6 tubs that would be fine, but I'd love to know that BEFORE I spend 400+ dollars on a thermostat instead of finding out I could have saved money, and gotten the results I wanted. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY, AND ALL ADVICE!!
